They Laughed When I Said They Could Understand The Guitar In Just 2 Hours... But Then I Showed Them The Secret

I Will Teach You The Same Guitar Theory That The Pro's Use To Take Your Guitar Playing To The Next Level... And Beyond!

Hi, my name is Jonathan Boettcher, and over the last few years I've helped literally thousands of guitar players finally understand their guitars, using just a few rarely-taught concepts that most guitar teachers avoid like the plague.

Learning how to play guitar can be a lot of confusing work... or it can be a lot of fun. Most people get to the first part just fine, but never seem to make it to the second...

Let Me Tell You A Story...

When I was six years old - remember the good old days when life was carefree - my parents put me in piano lessons. My teacher was an old woman who lived across the street and down a block. I went to visit her once a week to learn how to play.

You know what? She made learning to play more boring than watching paint dry. And as a six year old, if given the choice, I probably would have chosen the paint!

She tried teaching me music theory, but it was like cutting down a forest with a pocketknife. More on that story in just a minute...

Can't I Just Learn The Chords?

Most beginner guitar players start out by learning a few chords and some simple songs.

That's cool - its a good start.

But as I've helped other people learn the guitar, I've observed that there's a general lack of understanding as to exactly why we play what we do.

More importantly, I've noticed this lack of understanding really slows down progress, and even worse - can make learning the guitar confusingand feel like a lot of hard work!

The good news is - there's a KEY that will...

Unlock Your Guitar Forever!

There's this concept in music called I - IV - V. If that looks like Greek to you, it's not - it's Latin!

I-IV-V (that's 1 - 4 - 5 in English) refers to the root note (I), or tonic, and the two notes in perfect relation to it (IV and V). Because it is a numbering system, it is universal, and applies to every single key.

Simply put - this lesson on I-IV-V will show you how the guitar fretboard is built on patterns of I-IV-V, and once you see the patterns, your guitar will come alive in a whole new way.

You will play...

Faster than you thought you could

More accurately than ever before

More confidently, because now you'll know WHY!

Have you ever been in an unfamiliar city, looked at a road map, and tried to figure out what was going on?

Ok, good, so you know it takes a while to get your bearings and to find your way, right?

Now - have you ever had a friend visit your home town, and showed them where to go on a map? Chances are that map just intuitively made sense to you, because it described familiar landmarks, right?

Have you ever struggled to follow the music or tab, without really knowing why the notes are where they are – why you need to play them in that order? That's because you're playing in unfamiliar territory...

I Will Give You The Key

Understanding I-IV-V as it relates to your guitar will be the key that unlocks your guitar in your hands - unleashing your true potential as a player.

I promise (more on that later).

When I was a teenager, I started taking guitar lessons. My guitar teacher approached music from a totally different angle than I'd ever seen before. Suddenly theory not only made sense, but it came alive in my hands!

Now I don’t play a note without knowing why (for the most part!).

From One Guitar Player To Another

Let me tell you something – one guitar player to another. I-IV-V such a basic concept to the guitar that it is something every single guitar player needs to know (Even the very tuning of the guitar is based on it).

It doesn’t matter if you want to be a rock star, or if your highest goal with the guitar is merely to strum a few chords around a campfire with some friends.

Rockstar or campfire jammer – and everyone in between – you simply have to understand I-IV-V.

Some Rough Statistics

80% of musicians don’t understand I-IV-V properly, yet it is so important that the Pro’s communicate onstage in these terms.

95% of popular songs (in every genre!) are built on this formula, or variations of it.

Ok, so I don't know if the numbers are bang on or not - but from personal experience I would say they are. And it is 100% true that the Pro's communicate using the number system.

So What Happened To The Piano Lady?

Remember I started telling you about my episode with the piano lady? Well, I ended up quitting after three months. My parents weren't sure if I would ever like music again after that (good thing they were wrong!).

The thing is... I DON"T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO YOU!

Learning Guitar Should Be FUN!

.... not as boring as watching the grass grow!

Learning guitar can and should be one of the most fulfilling parts of your life - mastering an art that allows you to express yourself is truly priceless.

There are many different guitar courses that can help you learn guitar...

But none of them (so far as I've seen - and I've seen most of them by now) presents I-IV-V from the same perspective that you'll be seeing it here.

What 'Unlocking I-IV-V is NOT:

It is not a complete 'learn to play guitar' course. It is a single 109 minute video lesson.

It does not teach how to play chords.

It does not teach you how to strum.

It does not teach you riffs, licks, hammer ons, pulloffs, slides, bends or any other fancy ‘tricks.’

Unlocking I-IV-V is none of these things.

But it will perfectly complement any course that does teach these things.

My Offer To You

If you were to hire a guitar teacher to sit down with you for 2 hours, and explain I-IV-V to you, it would cost you at minimum $120. Then you'd leave, and if you had questions later on or forgot something, you'd have to come back and pay again.

With the Unlocking I-IV-V DVD you can hit rewind and re-watch any part that you don't pick up immediately. As they say, video is the most patient teacher in the world!

"So much revelation about chord structure"

Cool lesson, very down to earth. Speaking as an elementary teacher, you kept it simple and to the point.

Your DVD gave me so much revelation about chord structure that I sat down and started fooling around with some chords. I also started helping out my buddy at his guitar school so this will come in handy big time. The added weekly tips, I think, will be extremely helpful. I think this old dog is gonna learn and understand some new tricks!

Does Your Guitar Still Seem Confusing?

If So...

I've explained I-IV-V to quite a few guitar players, and for many, it is like putting the final piece in a huge jigsaw puzzle: finally you get to see the whole picture, and you get it. The final gear drops in place, and you're off to the races.

Have you tried to learn music, but been intimidated by having to learn each key? Would you like a rule of thumb so you don’t have to memorize anything?. Discover why all keys follow the same patterns, just with different letter names.

"This will take my guitar playing to the next level"

I had a chance to review your lesson on the 1,4,5 theory and it was exactly what I was looking for. It was very informative and easy to follow. I honestly believe that this will take my guitar playing to the next level and then some... the more that I watched the more that it made sense.

Very well done and I would have to say that I would not change a thing. Thanks for this lesson and I look forward to future lessons!

Unlocking I IV V will help you accomplish all these goals, by giving you a solid foundation and understanding that will make progress come quicker in all areas of your guitar playing.

But I Already Play Pretty Good...

Is This For Me?

Honestly, I've met better guitar players than myself who didn't understand the material I'll be revealing to you. Any guesses as to what happened when they learned? Yup - their playing improved faster than a speeding bullet, to borrow a phrase from Superman.

You can be a great guitar player, and yet know very little about how the guitar works. It seems strange, and yet I've seen it happen over and over again. However, as soon as those players get an understanding of what's going on with their fretboards, they automatically improve further.

"This will take my guitar playing to the next level"

Hi Jonathan... Well, I've had a chance to look at the video... many times; and I still look at it several times throughout the day. You have a way of making your lessons understandable unlike any "help" that I've ever received.

Like you said, there is a lot of information packed into your lessons.

One thing I've noticed already is that I was able to apply the number system to assist in learning a song that I needed to know for yesterday. I saw the pattern (I-V-VI-IV) and learned the song in a matter of a few minutes.

​It usually takes me hours of listening... stopping the music to find the notes... slowing the tune down with Transcribe... very time consuming.

I guess you can tell that you have helped me out tremendously. Thanks man! You are making a huge difference in making this music thing fun for me. I had actually quit playing for over twenty years because it had become too much like work rather than something that I could enjoy.
